The Ghost Recon series has always been a firm favorite of mine since the first game in the franchise released, more years ago than I care to admit. The latest iteration is a side-step in the series, given it is on a...

Dead Space is a survival horror title by EA Redwood Shores, California. EA doing survival horror seemed something of a bandwagon hopping exercise and one quite a few loudly spoken critics spouted about prior to its release. Given EA are known in the realm of gaming for having some great, but repetitive licenses, a new IP based in the survival horror genre seemed doomed to...

Fable II has been more hyped than a hyped thing in Hype Town on the planet Hype. It is with little wonder then that gamers expected huge things from a game, that by designer Peter Molyneux’s own words “not even a cross between the Kama-Sutra and the Bible and the complete works of Shakespeare could have met their [game reviewers] expectations. But hopefully Fable II...

It’s not often we review XBLA titles here at Thumb Bandits, mainly because we don’t get them sent out for review and people are generally more interested in the big hitting premium release titles. So why does a Kingdom for Keflings get a full written review based purely on a personal purchase? Simple – it’s a little star and one I thought should shine on...

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots has been a long time coming and has garnered perfect scores on majority of sites, so this review will be a little different. I’m not here to slate the title by any means, but I intend to give a fully non-bias – non rose tinted spectacles – review for those that may be new to the Metal Gear franchise.
Metal Gear Solid has been...

Here we go again people. It’s movie tie-in time. X-men Origins: Wolverine, which – like the film – covers the Wolverine back-story in some detail, with plenty of gore and over the top violence. If you like fighting combos Wolverine has them in droves, it’s just a shame the game is all so repetitive that it can become a little dull. Dodge, fight, dodge...

Boom Blox immediately garnered the attention of the press because it had the name Steven Spielberg attached to it. Mr Spielberg you see is a fan of video games, but not the violent ones. With his guidance and ‘direction’ (haw haw) EA has come up with Boom Blox, a Wii puzzle game that takes full advantage of the Wii motion controls.
The gameplay of Boom Blox is a fairly simple...
